Kubandwa ancestral ritual: When the Barundi connected to the Great All to find their balance. The sacred site of Kugasumo ka Mwaro, a tourist treasure in harmony with the socio-economic policy of Burundi.

Gitega (Mwaro), July 8, 2023 – Fitting harmoniously into the socio-economic policy of the Barundi, a Murundi citizen embarked on a tourist trip through Burundi. Last Saturday, he surveyed the magnificent landscape of The Fall of Mwaro, known as Mwaro Falls. In the culture of l’ubungothis sacred place of the waterfall offered everyone the opportunity to recharge their batteries by drawing on a finite force carrying pure energy, thus promoting better self-realization.

By connecting to “Grand Tout” (cfr. Couple Mukakaryenda – Karyenda, Ingoma)symbolizing a state of maximum growth or wisdom, the individual benefited from a spiritual connection strengthening his “god” (chance of life or inner spiral) in connection with the “Grand-Tout” or “Ma”. To facilitate this connection, a local feminine entity, called MukaKiranga linked to Features, spiritually accompanied the individual in question. This ritual worship, known as “focus“, allowed to increase the”wisdom” in people feeling a little lost, while keeping the “ikijuju“.

The Barundi are a people who thus embody the spirit of Ubuntu, that is to say Ubungoma, where cultural and spiritual values ​​intertwine to establish a balance between the individual and the whole that surrounds him. This approach testifies to the deep attachment of the Barundi to their ancestral traditions, while reconciling them with the contemporary socio-economic aspects of the country. Through this cultural tourism experience, the Murundi citizen can connect to their roots and nourish their spirit with revitalizing energy, thus establishing a meaningful connection with their spiritual and cultural heritage.
